Turkey's nuclear projects exceed $70 billion
14:03, 15 July 2014 Tuesday

Turkey aims to build three nuclear power plants in its bid to diversify its energy sources.

Total cost of Turkey's nuclear power plant projects will exceed $70 billion by 2023, Turkish parliament's energy sub-commission head Halil Mazicioglu said on Tuesday.

"Our goal is to have both Akkuyu and Sinop nuclear power plants to be operational and a third one to be under construction by 2023," Mazicioglu told Anadolu Agency. "With the additional third project, the sum of Turkey's nuclear program will exceed $70 billion."

Several new legislations need to be introduced in order to restructure Turkey's nuclear field, including the creation of a "Nuclear Energy General Directorate" for coordinating the nuclear projects and preparing necessary infrastructure and programming.
